Break-In At Mile High Comics - $42,000 In Key Issues Stolen Howdy! Our Memorial Day weekend was filled with drama, but not in a good way. At approximately 5 AM on Sunday morning we had someone break in through the rear door of Jason St. He then proceeded to walk our front area of the store, where we have five 6' tall cases filled with our most significant back issues. He smashed the doors off three of those cases, and then chose 14 comics to steal, which had a net retail value of $42,000+. Broken Showcases While his crime netted him some beautiful comics, it came with a significant potential price. First, we have video of him engaged in his theft, which we have shared with the news media throughout Colorado. Tips have already been coming in to the Denver P.D. as to his identity. Second, he apparently cut himself rather significantly, as he left a shower of blood drops all around the cases, and also over by our sink. Denver P.D. went to great lengths to get his DNA and other evidence, so if he is eventually identified, he is going to have a very hard time denying his culpability. Photo of Suspect Finally, he is going to have a hard time escaping capture, as our video of him stealing our comics has now been shared by thousands of people on Facebook, shown on every television outlet in Denver, also shown in Colorado Springs, and we have given the details about the theft to the Denver Post. Even Colorado Public Radio made our burglary a news piece. Even if we don't catch him right away, this man will be looking over his shoulder for a long, long time. Broken Showcases One inexplicable peculiarity of this crime was the selection process. While our thief did steal 13 rare comics and my personal incredibly cool 1943 letter from the Superman Fan Club of America, he left behind over $100,000 in other rare issues. After you've already busted out the showcase doors, why would you leave behind such great back issues as a slabbed AVENGERS #1 and a SPIDER-MAN #50 signed by Stan Lee and John Romita?!? That is the part that none of us who work here can figure out. People are strange... In any event, aside from letting you know about our misfortune, the purpose of today's newsletter is to extend our 50% off MEMORIALDAY! codeword sale through next weekend. While there was no negative cash flow consequence to our losing 13 of our most expensive back issues, being closed for most of the day on Sunday (so that the Denver P.D. crime scene forensics team could gather evidence), did result in significant lost revenues. That puts an added burden on my beloved and long-suffering wife, Nanette, who tries her best to pay our bills. Ocean of comics If you have not yet placed a half price MEMORIALDAY! back issues order with us, we would appreciate it very much if you could maybe do so by next Monday. Will and Pam have been adding quite a few great back issues for you into Premium New-In-Stock, all of which qualify for the 50% off sale.
